Title:
  boot failure with grub “quiet splash” + linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic +
  full disk encryption

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  From this morning the boot process on my laptop is no longer working.
  The only relevant change from yesterday (when all was working fine)
  has been a kernel update (from 3.2.0-39-generic to 3.2.0-40-generic).

  When grub tries to boot the 3.2.0-40-generic kernel, I get only a
  black screen (the screen seems really powered off).

  After many tries and googling around, I found the following: if I
  change the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT grub parameter (inside
  /etc/default/grub) from the default value "quiet splash" to
  "nomodeset" the boot process works but the screen has a lower
  resolution than before (from 1600x900 to 800x600).

  This is not happening with the previous kernel version
  (3.2.0-39-generic). Even with "quiet splash" enabled, all is working
  fine with the correct resolution.

  An important note: my disk is fully encrypted (actually the setup is
  LVM + encryption). So when the boot works fine, after the grub
  selection screen I am asked to insert the passphrase for decrypting
  the whole file system.
